F3 Athletics

Love this place! The trainers here are knowledgeable, highly qualified and extremely motivating. Athletes at F3 get hands down the best service around, you won’t get that at any other gym.

One of the best things that had happen to me!
I been at this gym for a little over a year now and It has become one of my happy places, I love been there.
From day one you feel very welcome from the coaches and members.
Coaches are very smart and knowledgeable and know how to help you modify workouts when you have any health issues going on, they go above and beyong to make you feel good and comfortable with the workouts!
Love my Crossfit family!

I’ve lived in Imperial Beach since 2008 and never felt a real sense of community until joining F3 Athletics. This place is my home away from home — and I only live a few blocks away! I tried multiple gyms before joining F3 and now can’t imagine working out anywhere else.
I was brand new to CrossFit when I joined and definitely had some misconceptions about the sport. I was offered a free month of training to help learn the basic movements and decide if the program was a good fit before making a commitment. The workouts are always different, so there’s no change of getting bored. That’s what got me hooked! Over the past year this place has helped me gain a greater level self-​confidence and discover muscles that I never thought I had.
Several times per year the gym hosts «HERO» workouts in honor of those who gave their lives to keep us and our country safe. On Memorial Day I joined the «Murph» workout in memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy who was killed in Afghanistan on June 28^th, 2005. It was probably the hardest workout I have ever completed but the atmosphere at the event, and the motivation and encouragement from the coaches and other participants, kept me going. F3 also hosted a «Fit for Fido» event that raised over $ 3K for a local dog rescue and this September they are hosting another community event to raise awareness of veteran suicide. I work in the nonprofit field and it amazes me how much this small business does to give back and to support their members.
The people here have not only become my friends, but my family. That’s what keeps me coming back almost every single day.

Small locally ran training facility in IB for people of all fitness levels! Get active.

At 52 I know it wasn’t too late to get in shape. I signed up for the 2 weeks free fundamentals. It was awesome. Coach Allie is a seasoned professional that teaches and motivates. Signed up for full membership and started training with Coach Daniel. He is professional and motivating as well. His knowledge and desire for his students success makes it a perfect combination. Best decision in many years.

Best gym I’ve ever been a part of hands down. Everyone is super friendly, there are multiple time slots throughout the day so you can go at your convenience and if you’re new to crossfit like I am Danny and the rest of the coaches are super patient and super helpful. They really help you work towards your goals in the safest most effective way. Oh and it’s so close to the beach that sometimes we have beach wods!

This place is like a second home to me. Coach Danny is very passionate that he makes everyone of your accomplishments as well as your failed attempts his own. All the coaches have been key to my dedication and is what drives me to continue on my journey to a healthier life style.

I just joined this gym a few weeks ago after trying the fundamentals Class and it’s been an amazing journey so far. Allie is the fundamentals coach who teaches all the basics you need to get started and she was fantastic.
Danny is such an awesome coach and person!!! He’s definitely makes you feel at home from the second you walk in. Everyone I have met at the gym has been incredibly nice and welcoming. The workouts have been great and Danny is definitely motivating and really knows how to get you to push yourself. Joining IBCF was a great move and if you’re looking for a crossfit gym, this is the place! Thanks Danny!

This is a phenomenal gym with outstanding coaching! Dan is passionate about changing people’s lives and helping them achieve their goals. Dan has had a great impact on my motivation and mechanics with weightlifting. The facility is conveniently located footsteps to the beach and beach workouts are incorporated weekly. They offer CrossFit workouts, yoga, barbell club and sports performance, so training is never the same. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, improve fitness, change of routine, or get faster, F3 is the place to be. You will not regret going here or the gains you will make with Dan and the F3 crew. Highly recommended to everyone regardless of your goal!
